Unique puzzles, weird inventory items, goofy story - Awesome
So this nutty magician is running around stealing famous monuments and I, world renowned detective, must stop him! Fortunately I have a potato, a cat puppet, some random bits of paper, and a chair leg...
Finally, a game with inventory items that don't have an obvious use! Plus some original puzzles, some very nice reworking of older mini-games, interactive H0 scenes, a story that is ridiculous but amusing, and great art. Each chapter has its own area so there isn't too much running around. Voice overs are well done.
Cons: Some of the inventory items need precise clicking. Because it's not always obvious which item to use, this can be frustrating. This game is a little short, it took me about 4 hours with no hints or walkthough. Even on hardcover, there are black bar hints, but it's possible to ignore them. The last chapter had the best puzzles but the rest was a bit sloppy. No interactive map.

Excellent Game
Ten times better than Masquerade, the first game in this series!! It even had an ending, instead of coming to a screeching halt like a lot of SEs. Logical game play, and each chapter is complete in itself -- once you finish a chapter, there is no going back to the locations in a previous one.
The only (very small) negative for me was that I prefer the pointing arrow kind of hint instead of it just telling you "nothing to do here." But because each chapter was self-limiting, you really couldn't get lost, so not a big deal. I thought the shattered screen style of hint in the HOS was cool.
I definitely recommend this game.

Retro game was all fun
Seeing in 2014 that this game was available for a DD I couldn't remember having played this game but I did own it so replayed it. A very enjoyable morning playing this retro game.
Hidden object scenes didn't have a misclick penalty which I appreciated especially since I'm no longer a fan of standard slightly interactive lists.
The gameplay was great with some quirky parts.
Seemed to be a very good length for a SE, too.
Now I'm going to go see if I have another Shattered Minds game to replay.
(oh and I didn't even realize I HAD a map until the very end in my journal... don't know when I picked that up but didn't really need it since I enjoyed the backtracking)

Inventive fun
This is a bit weird at first (some of the uses need thinking a bit) but the setting is beautiful and unusual - same goes for the HOS, and it flows nicely without backtracking. Story is quite original, and has a decent ending.

Excellent
One of the best things about this game is the sheer number of locations. I've seen some games present you with a small number of locations and you feel boxed in. Not here, there are dozens of locations and each of them has several nooks n crannies to explore making it for a very cozy experience.
The storyline is interesting as it revolves around chasing a magician around Paris. Pretty cool. The story book attempts to explain his backstory so you get some information, but not all, so it leaves you in mystery unresolved.
The length of the game was good, the puzzles were perfect, not too difficult but with a couple of unique ones thrown in. And extra bonus points for no missed click punishments!
I would love to see more from this developer. Great stuff!

Excellent Paris adventure.
Great storyline: as a detective, you are called to Paris to stop Damian LeStrange, a demented magician who is making monuments disappear, and his next target is the Eiffel Tower. Good VOS, great graphics. HOS interactive and clear. Puzzles are fun, with a short skip button. Hint for all areas. Nice music. LeStrange disappears, which bodes for another chapter, hopefully. Not a really long game, only 4 hours on casual play, but very enjoyable.

Fun Game
I enjoyed this game. You play as a detective trying to stop a magician who is making monuments around the world disappear. The graphics a nice, the cut scenes and voices overs are excellent, the iHOS are fun, the mini games are enjoyable. There is a map and journal. The map is a bit clunky, but does show where "to do" items are located. The journal contains some useful information.
The end of the game was satisfying, but left the door open for a possible sequel. I recommend this game.

a fun sometimes challenging game
I love these games and this one did not dissapoint. like so many could have used a map - I got lost at times but the story line is fun, not too scary or gruesome but fun. save the eiffle tower and play with clowns. It is nice to have games that are not all scary and gruesome. I don't use sound so can't rate that and I bought the SE not the CE. found it enjoyable and I recommend this game.
